About our non-slip bath coating in Upton
It’s popular with homes with older or less mobile people, holiday lets and families. The coating is clear and textured, so the bath looks much the same. Whether it’s worn-out textured areas and safety for older or less mobile people, we can help.
The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If something is not right in that time, we come back and put it right. Clean with a soft brush and a mild cleaner. Do not use abrasive pads on the textured area.

DIY repairs versus a professional job
For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
For landlords and businesses
For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover, saving last-minute replacements. Several plots can be done in one visit.
We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Just send photos, the address and how to get access and we’ll handle the rest.
Repair or replace in Upton?
The alternatives are a new textured bath or tray, or a bath mat that needs lifting and cleaning. A non-slip coating treats your existing bath or tray. There are no surprise extras on the day. The price we quote from your photos is the price you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.

What else we do in Upton
Prices and what affects them
Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we look at:
- What the surface is made of
- Unusual colours or finishes
- How much damage there is
- Access to the area
Compared with replacing, repairing typically costs far less, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.
Getting a price from pictures
You can generally get a fixed quote without us visiting. To help us price it:
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- A photo taken from further back
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
For a price in Upton, pictures are the quickest way: a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode. We reply with a fixed quote and our next available dates.
How it works
The work is clean and fairly quiet. Protection goes down first, then the job itself takes a few hours. Before we leave, we explain how soon it can be used and how to care for it.
- First the standing area is cleaned and degreased.
- We mask out the area to be treated.
- The clear textured coating is applied.
- We remove the masking for a neat edge.
- Once it has cured, normally overnight, it’s ready.
Getting ready for the visit
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
- Ensure the area is dry
Getting a price
Pricing is simple: snap the damage close up and then the whole item, send them over with your postcode, and you will get a fixed quote back. Quotes are free and you are under no obligation.

When to call us in Upton
Baths and trays are made smooth so they’re easy to clean, yet with soap and water on them they become slippery. Textured areas on older baths wear smooth too.
Typical reasons for a call-out include:
- Safety for older or less mobile people
- Bath mats that harbour mould or get forgotten
- A bath or tray that is slippery when wet
- Worn-out textured areas
Comparing quotes
- How changes to the job are handled
- Whether they match the colour on site
- Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
- A fixed quote, and whether VAT is included
What we cannot put right
A repair isn’t right for every job, for example:
- Surfaces that are already damaged or peeling (these need repairing first)
- Textured areas still wet or recently cleaned with oily products
- Outdoor surfaces
If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think.
Surfaces we repair
- Acrylic baths
- Enamelled baths
- Shower trays
- Resurfaced baths
